A British MP says he's yet to hear from 2Day FM, as it's revealed the deceased nurse left 3 notes.

THE nurse who died after receiving a prank call from 2Day FM left three notes for family - including one that was critical of staff at the hospital where she worked, a coroner's court has heard.

Jacintha Saldanha, 46, was found dead in her room three days after receiving a prank call from two announcers from 2Day FM who pretended to be the Queen and Prince Charles, asking after pregnant Kate Middleton's health.

Amid a large scrum of the world’s media, Westminister Coroners Court yesterday opened the inquiry into the death of Ms Saldanha, a nurse from King Edward VII Hospital.

In a brief hearing, the court heard Ms Saldanha was found last Friday by a nurse colleague and a security guard who helped gain entrance to her Marylebone unit.

They found two notes close to where she was and another close to her belongings.

Ms Saldanha's family has been given typed copies of the three handwritten notes by the police and has read the contents, the Guardian reports.

One note deals with Ms Saldanha's reaction to the hoax call from 2DayFM's Michael Christian and Mel Grieg, another details her requests for her funeral, and the third addresses her employers, the hospital, and contains criticism of staff there.

The Guardian says it has two separate sources to confirm the contents of the notes.

Detective Chief Inspector James Harman told the court there were no suspicious circumstances.

He added they had also found ''emails of relevance'' and were looking at text messages sent prior to her death but they were still piecing together the sequence of events that led to her death.

Inquest proceedings were adjourned until March next year to allow officers to make further inquiries including, the court heard, to conduct interviews with various staff from the 2Day FM radio network where DJs put a prank call and producers and others deemed it fit to be broadcast.

Police confirmed they believe they would be able to secure all the Australian evidence by March.

A note left by the deceased nurse involved in the Royal hoax call scandal may shed light on her death.

Officers were also still interviewing family and friends and hospital staff.

No formal cause of death has yet been ruled with toxicology reports still to be finalised.

Family did not attend the hearing but some colleagues did and the coroner offered her deepest sympathies to all linked to Ms Saldanha.

Ms Saldanha answered the phone last week when two Australian disc jockeys called seeking information about Kate Middleton, who was being treated for severe morning sickness.

The DJs impersonated Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles, and Ms Saldanha was tricked into transferring the call to another nurse, who revealed private details about the Duchess' condition.

The DJs, Mel Greig and Michael Christian, apologised for the prank in emotional interviews on Australian television, saying they never expected their call would be put through.

The show was taken off the air and the DJs have been suspended.

Christian has since received death threats.

Australia's media watchdog, the Australian Communications and Media Authority, said on Thursday it was launching an official investigation into whether radio station 2DayFM breached its broadcasting license conditions and the industry code of practice.

In Britain, inquests are held to determine the facts whenever someone dies unexpectedly, violently or in disputed circumstances. Inquests do not determine criminal liability or apportion blame.

The local authority, Westminster Council, said Saldanha's body was released to her family after Thursday's hearing.

Saldanha, who was born in India, lived in Bristol in southwestern England with her husband and two teenage children.

Her husband, Benedict Barboza, has said she will be laid to rest in Shirva, India.

The family was not in court. Lawmaker Keith Vaz, who has spoken on their behalf, said the nurse's loved ones "need time to grieve.''

Vaz said a memorial Mass would be held Saturday at London's Roman Catholic Westminster Cathedral.

Overnight, mourners have held a candlelit vigil in Mangalore, India, where Saldanha was born.

The Mangalore hospital where Saldanha studied nursing will institute a Best Bedside Nurse award in her memory, which will be presented in recognition of nursing proficiency, said Denis D’Sa, Administrator, Father Muller Medical College (FMMC), of which the College of Nursing is a part, the Hindu.com reports.
